About This Role
This night-shift post on the cardiac ward pairs patient care with mentoring new nurses.
Responsibilities
- Establish and maintain robust "decoupled" molding processes (Scientific Molding) to ensure consistent part quality and cycle time optimization
- Diagnose and resolve complex molding issues (e.g., flash, splay, short shots, dimensional instability) using root-cause analysis rather than "trial and error"
- Work closely with Engineering during mold trials (sampling) to define the process window and provide feedback on mold design and functionality
- Coordinate with the automation team to ensure 3-axis or 6-axis robots (end-of-arm tooling) are synchronized with the press for seamless part extraction
- Ensure all processes adhere to IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 standards
- Perform first-piece inspections and monitor SPC (Statistical Process Control) data to prevent defects
- Act as a technical lead for junior technicians and operators, fostering a culture of technical excellence and safety
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on processing experience in a high-volume injection molding environment (Automotive or Electronics experience preferred)
- Strong understanding of RJG, Paulson, or similar Scientific Molding methodologies
- Proficiency with major press brands (e.g., Engel, Arburg, Husky, Fanuc, or Milacron) and their respective control systems
- Deep knowledge of engineered resins (e.g., PBT, Nylon/GF, PC/ABS) and their specific processing requirements
- Ability to identify mold issues (venting, cooling, gate wear) versus processing issues
Nice to have:
- RJG Master Molder I or II certification is highly desirable
- Experience with hot runner systems (Mold-Masters, Yudo, etc.)
- Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing (5S, Kaizen) and SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) principles to reduce changeover times
Benefits
- Overtime opportunities
- 401k/RRSP matching
- Premium health coverage
